A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Roger buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $34, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$64.60
$30.60
$51.00
$44.20

Solution

By buying two shirts, Roger will save $34 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$34 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$340}{100} \) = $3.40 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$34.00 + ($34.00 - $3.40)
$34.00 + $30.60
$64.60

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \)

A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 5 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?

53% Answer Correctly
7:4
9:4
3:6
25:2

Solution

The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 5:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 5:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 25:10 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 10:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 25:10, 10:2 which reduces to 25:2.
